Fog PASS device is a GPS-based navigation tool for locomotive pilots

[{"selector":"#anim-ff4ed4dc-cf60-49c0-954d-7e99097fa1ef [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It provides real-time information through display and voice guidance

[{"selector":"#anim-126ce17c-b847-4235-869c-ef21a0713682 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The info is about signal locations, level crossing gates, speed restrictions and more

[{"selector":"#anim-fd90b736-e8f5-4d26-aefa-fc7af4f710fe [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It is cost-effective, portable and suitable for all rail sections and train types

[{"selector":"#anim-0990c7b6-6dfe-4802-bb9d-dc0516177af6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It supports speeds up to 160 km/h and has 18-hour rechargeable battery backup

[{"selector":"#anim-a00062b8-522e-4f83-bbc6-46dd0ba8c3a0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This device will improve efficiency of train services during foggy weather
